Strategic Mapping

The TSI Consulting® Strategic Mapping Process is a facilitated process
which helps an organization's leadership develop its strategy. It
results in clear strategic focus, strong agreement by the leadership
team, and a well-defined path for implementing the strategy.

Strategic mapping is part of the Formulation Stage of strategic effectiveness. TSI consultants lead participants through this process in which they:

Assess the current situation - summarizing the
organization's strengths, areas of needed improvement, and the critical
issues it will face in the next three to five years.

Confirm organizational mission/vision. These statements
outline why an organization exists, its fundamental purpose.
They provide broad and enduring context for an organization's strategy.

Identify
the central challenge that the organization faces. This challenge
provides a focal point for strategy, defining what the organization
must do to succeed.

Formulate a strategic map that
outlines the strategic priorities of the organization and specific
objectives that support those priorities.

Create a clear
path to implementation that includes developing the results, timelines
and accountabilities that guide implementation.

Identify the key steps in communicating the strategy to the organization and its various stakeholders.
